"Never, ever underestimate the power of a rhythm guitar player. Sure, they might not be doing all those flashy solos that make you guys all wet like screaming groupie fangirls. But without the strong background they're providing there'd be no song to play a solo over. Just like the legendary Steve Lukather – who's probably one of the best solo players of all time – said, many kids today spend their time learning all sorts of tricks but they forget about the most important thing – playing in groove. As cliche as this may sound, rock 'n' roll would probably never survive without them."
